At Silver State Plastics, we thrive on bringing innovative and functional custom plastic fabrication solutions to life. Recently, we had the opportunity to partner with Yogurt Beach, the popular frozen yogurt chain, to build their custom candy bins. This project was not only fun but also showcased the versatility and appeal of acrylic in custom fabrication.
Custom Plastic Fabrication at Its Best
Custom plastic fabrication is at the heart of what we do at Silver State Plastics. Whether it’s creating unique displays, functional storage solutions, or decorative elements, our team excels in turning visions into reality with precision and craftsmanship. When Yogurt Beach approached us with the idea of designing candy bins for their stores, we were excited to dive into the project.
Why Acrylic?
Acrylic, also known as PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate), is a highly versatile and durable material that is perfect for a variety of applications, including food storage. Here’s why acrylic was the ideal choice for Yogurt Beach’s candy bins:
- Clarity and Aesthetic Appeal: Acrylic offers exceptional clarity, allowing customers to see the vibrant colors and textures of the candies clearly. Its glass-like appearance adds a touch of sophistication to any setting.
- Durability: Acrylic is highly durable and resistant to impacts, making it a safe and long-lasting option for high-traffic areas like self-serve yogurt shops.
- Lightweight: Despite its strength, acrylic is lightweight, making it easy to handle and install.
- Ease of Fabrication: Acrylic can be easily cut, shaped, and polished to create custom designs, making it perfect for bespoke projects like this one.
The Project: Custom Candy Bins for Yogurt Beach
The project began with a collaborative design process. We worked closely with the Yogurt Beach team to understand their needs and preferences. The goal was to create bins that were not only functional and durable but also visually appealing and easy to use.
Design and Fabrication
- Conceptualization: We started with sketches and 3D models to visualize the design. The bins needed to fit seamlessly into Yogurt Beach’s existing store layout and complement their vibrant and welcoming aesthetic.
- Material Selection: High-quality clear acrylic was chosen for its clarity, durability, and ease of cleaning. We ensured that the acrylic met all safety standards for food storage.
- Cutting and Shaping: We cut the acrylic sheets into precise shapes and sizes. Each piece was meticulously crafted to ensure a perfect fit.
- Assembly: The individual pieces were then carefully assembled. We used a combination of solvent welding and mechanical fasteners to ensure a strong and durable construction.
- Finishing Touches: Finally, the bins were polished to a high-gloss finish, ensuring crystal-clear visibility of the candies inside.
A Sweet Success
The custom candy bins were a hit! Yogurt Beach was thrilled with the final product, and their customers now enjoy a delightful candy selection experience that adds an extra touch of fun to their visits.
